Matchmaking sessions allow you to use the full networking potential this conference offers. It is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners. People meet and greet at high speed: 20 minutes are usually enough to build connections, then the bell rings and the next talk starts.

1. Online registration

Project Cooperation: Add a cooperation wish if you are looking for a cooperation partner for your project proposal.

Expertise: Describe what kind of expertise & know-how you can provide to other participants. Example: you have deep know-how in a specific field such as “green growth” and you are looking for projects where this expertise is needed.

Product: Add and describe a product you are offering to your profile.

Service: Add and describe a service you are offering to your profile. Example: you offer access to your own R&D infrastructure.

Investment: If you are seeking investment create an investment opportunity.

Request: Create a request for anything specific you are looking for.

2. Promotion of published profiles

All published profiles will be extensively promoted by the organisers of this event. Furthermore, all event participants will view your cooperation profile. High quality profiles are visited about 50 to 150 times BEFORE the event and can still be viewed AFTER the event.

3. Selection of bilateral meetings

Email notification

You will be informed by email when you can start booking bilateral meetings. Search for interesting cooperation profiles under the menu item “Participants”. Intelligent search options allow a quick identification of the most suitable participants/cooperation profiles. Within a few minutes you should be able to identify future potential business partners.

Booking bilateral meetings

Once you have found the most promising innovation and business partners you can select them for bilateral meetings. You can add further meetings any time but please be aware that the bookings are managed on the principle of first come, first served. You can book meetings BUT you can also be booked for bilateral talks by other participants!

Your personal meeting schedule

You will receive your personal meeting schedule a few days before the event (and you can constantly check your meeting schedule online). This meeting schedule informs you about the time, the number of the table, and who you are going to meet.

4. At the event

At the event you will be able to look online for an updated version of your meeting schedule including last minute bookings. In chronological order for each meeting your personal meeting schedule lists the

name of your conversation partner

number of table for each meeting
